Initially. they said they couldn't locate the document. But after a few attempts, they emailed me backed saying it was processed. So I don't think they process the documents right away or don't initiate until attempts are made. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 0 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 149 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Juarez, Mexico Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing Event Description Review Date : September 13, 2017 Embassy Review : We did CR-1/IR-1 After about 2 months of I-130 approval in USCIS Mexico City, I was waiting to hear back from US Consulate in Ciudad Juarez. I called and emailed the consulate in Ciudad Juarez to see if my documents were processed. Initially. they said they couldn't locate the document. But after a few attempts, they emailed me backed saying it was processed. So I don't think they process the documents right away or don't initiate until attempts are made. USCIS Mexico City was very helpful and quick. I have been to a US embassy/consulate. They are more flexible with phones and backpacks.They store your phone for you and backpacks are allowed. Ciudad Juarez did not allow me to bring a cell phone initially. So I went back to drop off my phone in my hotel room. When I went back, while I was going through security, they said my backpack and my spouse's bag have too much stuff in it so they told me to put it elsewhere and come back. So I had to go back again. Our bags didn't have a lot of stuff either. So you need to bring only the documents and your wallet. But biometric was fast and easy. Also, the medical exam was very clean and fast (at least for the one that I went to was). Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
